Actually, she first declared her candidacy via Twitter just minutes before making her television appearance, tweeting a link to the newly minted Carlyforpresident.com.

The RINOs are throwing the kitchen sink into the race...

The more RINOS the merrier. Let them take each other out and dilute their fundraising.

Why is Allen West silent?

That leaves two more to join the fray this week if all goes
as has been alluded to.

Carson - Monday in Detriot

Huckabee - Tuesday in Hope

My guess is that Col. West - like myself - could care less about Fiorina's campaign.

It could be the RINOs want her as the ‘unity’ VP pick.
We’ll probably have to go along , but this proven incompetent is a tough pill to swallow.

I guess what I meant is why he isn’t considering a nomination for himself.

I actually welcome her to the race. She isn’t going to win. But she has generated a lot of good press going after Hillary! I don’t care how liberal her Republicanism is. As long as she doesn’t win (a given) and slams Mrs. Clinton.

Good, well said, now I don’t have to type out the same thing. :-)

I find it interesting that she also tweeted her candidacy like Hill. Valjar was asked once about o’s use of videos, to which everyone was being referred for answers and she said it was to control the dialogue. Never forgot that and these two announcements remind me of it. Being in front of a live audience is risky. Can you fill the hall? and will they respond the way you hope? I think this twitter and controlled press event stuff is lame.

She would make a very intriguing contrast to Hillary. A woman who actually ACHIEVED some notable things in her life, as opposed to one who just hitched her wagon to the charming guy who was going places, and then sat back to collect her reparations for looking the other way at his years of indiscretion.

HP was on its way out well before then - she was hired to fix it, and she couldn’t. It had a dysfunctional, protectionist, non-creative culture in a world that was suddenly flooded with tech creativity.

Fiorina has said some very good and honest things. I think she’d be good on defense and good on trying to restore capitalism.

She gets very little media coverage because the press is afraid that she’ll be harder to ridicule and crush than was their former female target, Sarah Palin. But I’ll bet they start going after her now, because she’s seen as s threat to Hillary,

He may be aware that he may be on several potential candidates’ VP lists, and is staying with the Reagan philosophy of not speaking ill of fellow Republicans.
